| + | ===== What is a Bypass Capacitor? ===== | ||
| + | Bypass capacitor : A capacitor employed to conduct an alternating current around a component or group of components. | ||
| + | Often the AC is removed from an AC/DC mixture, the DC being free to pass through the bypassed component. | ||
| + | Essentially they remove any power fluctuations from an AC circuit. | ||
| + | |||
